If you're unfamiliar with the term "storage heater," here's a quick explanation. National grid electricity isn't priced uniformly across the country. Because demand for power varies throughout the day, suppliers charge based on need.

The cost of electricity is the lowest when it's off-peak overnight, because in the early hours, energy use as a whole is significantly lower than during the days and evenings, requiring less strain on the grid. The power you consume at night is considerably cheaper.

Of course, if you're asleep, it's not much use. However, there is an elegance to storage heaters. These ingenious devices utilize electricity overnight to heat internal components, allowing them to release the stored heat throughout the day. A good storage heater can save you a lot of money on your power bill.

The government has made grants available to assist with the purchase of storage heaters in the United Kingdom, as many appliances across the country are known to be outdated or inadequate. The aim is straightforward: utility bills are one of the most significant home expenditures for people on benefits or limited incomes, so it makes sense to enable these individuals to take full advantage of.

Funding or contributing to the cost of enhancing heating efficiency in millions of homes across the United Kingdom, the storage heaters grant has been created to offer all eligible households with assistance in upgrading their storage heaters. It's been created to help thousands of families save money on their energy bills by improving their home's heating system.

Eligibility for the free storage heater grant is based on income, occupancy, and number of dependents, with a sliding scale that makes it simple to determine whether you may apply. It's worth checking if you qualify if you are receiving universal credit or other benefits, or if your income is low.

How do you apply for your free storage heater grant? It’s easy. The grant is administered under the government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. You can find full eligibility details on our website here at www.eehomes.co.uk/apply where there is a simple application process.
